Definitions

  • This invention relates to absorbent sanitary articles.
  • Absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, and incontinence pads are devices that are typically worn in the crotch region of an undergarment. These devices are designed to absorb and retain liquid and other discharges from the human body and to prevent body and clothing soiling.
  • Sanitary napkins are a type of absorbent article worn by women in a pair of panties that is normally positioned between the wearer's legs, adjacent to the perineal area of the body.
  • Sanitary napkins both with and without side flaps (or wings) are disclosed in the literature and are available in the marketplace. Some particularly preferred sanitary napkins that do not require flaps are described in US-A-4950264 and US-A-5009653.
  • the flaps extend laterally from a central absorbent means and are intended to be folded around the edges of the wearer's panties in the crotch region.
  • the flaps are disposed between the edges of the wearer's panties in the crotch region and the wearer's thighs.
  • the flaps are provided with an attachment means for either affixing the flaps to the underside of the wearer's panties or to the opposing flap.
  • the flaps are particularly effective for preventing exudates from soiling the edges of the wearer's panties.
  • sanitary napkins having flaps are commonly viewed as providing better protection against soiling as compared to sanitary napkins without flaps
  • some women still prefer a sanitary napkin without flaps, and some women who generally prefer a sanitary napkin with flaps, occasionally (such as during periods of light flow) prefer a sanitary napkin without flaps. Therefore, there is a need for a sanitary napkin which provides an alternative to sanitary napkins having conventional side flaps while still providing the protection of side flaps.
  • both sanitary napkins with and without flaps are subject to the problem that the wearer's undergarments move with the wearer's movements during wear.
  • the failure to provide the sanitary napkin with a mechanism to adjust to the difference between the movement of the wearer's undergarments and the wearer's body may also cause the sanitary napkin to be less comfortable than if it stretched and conformed with the wearer's movements and to the wearer's undergarments.
  • sanitary napkins having conventional flaps that attempt to solve some, but not all of these problems are disclosed in the patent literature.
  • US-A-4911701 (Mavinkurve) discloses a sanitary napkin having elastic strands for providing a greater convex shape to the body-facing portion of the central absorbent and for enabling adhesive-free placement of the flaps of a winged napkin embodiment into a pair of panties.
  • the sanitary napkins described in the Mavinkurve patent still appears to require the user to manipulate the flaps (by first flipping the flaps upward and then placing the flaps in her panties and flipping the flaps back down) since the flaps appear to be pre-disposed to be in a downward folded condition.
  • the Mavinkurve patent also requires that individual elastic strands be attached in a contracted condition to the central absorbent portion of the napkin and/or to its wings or flaps.
  • the napkins described in the Mavinkurve patent can, therefore, be difficult and expensive to manufacture.
  • the Mavinkurve patent also does not disclose any mechanism to account for differences in movement and extensibility of the central absorbent of the napkin and the wearer's panties.
  • US-A-4940462 discloses a sanitary napkin with longitudinally expandable flaps.
  • the flaps are designed to fold over the exterior of the wearer's panty and then to expand to conform with the contour of the panties.
  • the Sagruo patent appears to require conventional adhesive fasteners to retain the flaps in place on the underside of the wearer's panties.
  • the flaps have to have a resiliently wide transverse dimension. The extra flap material can extend too far outward beyond the panty elastics to create a sloppy border that hangs out of the wearer's panties.
  • It an object of the present invention to provide an absorbent article, such a sanitary napkin, which overcomes, or at least mitigates, some or all of the problems described above.
  • an absorbent sanitary article which comprises an absorbing region capable of absorbing body fluids and having a pair of flaps located one on each of two opposite edges of the absorbing region, each flap being non-planar and having a first edge, nearer the absorbing region, which edge defines a non-rectilinear axis of rotation for the flap to pivot with respect to the absorbing region, and a second edge, remote from the said absorbing region, where the perimetral length is greater than for an equivalent planar flap.
  • each flap may be at, or substantially parallel to, a correspondingly non-rectilinear edge of the absorbing region, as is the case in the embodiment described below with reference to the drawings.
  • the said first edge may be theoretical rather than actual in the article as manufactured.
  • the side edges of the absorbing region may, for example, be straight, with the said first edges being within an area which lies outside the boundary of the absorbing material. In either event, however, the said first edges are those about which the flaps pivot in use with respect to the rest of the article which includes the said absorbing region.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view, seen from the topsheet side, of a blank from which an embodiment of the invention in the form of a sanitary napkin is to be made, showing the extent to which different regions of the article are to be stretched;
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of a sanitary napkin made from the blank of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of the sanitary napkin of Figure 2;
  • Figures 4, 5 and 10 show three alternative patterns in which a panty fastening adhesive can be applied to an article according to the present invention, again in the form of a sanitary napkin;
  • Figures 6 to 9 are diagrammatic cross-sections through four alternative embodiments of the invention, as applied to sanitary napkins.
  • FIG. 1 shows the blank from which a sanitary napkin according to the present invention can be formed. It will be seen that this comprises an absorbent core 10, which has straight, parallel longitudinal sides and rounded ends, and a secondary topsheet 12 which is of hourglass shape and which overlies the core 10. The ends of the secondary topsheet coincide with the ends of the core 10, but there are additional corner portions 12a below which no core 10 is present.
  • a primary topsheet 14 of generally elliptical shape is placed on the secondary topsheet, and a backsheet of the same shape is located below the core 10.
  • Both the primary topsheet 14 and the secondary topsheet 12 are liquid- permeable, though the topsheet 14 may only be permeable in a central region thereof, and may be impermeable in a peripheral region thereof.
  • the backsheet must be liquid- impermeable.
  • the backsheet and topsheet are sealed to one another, preferably by a heat seal, though alternatively by adhesive, along a band 18 which has the same shape as the periphery of the secondary topsheet 12 and is spaced outwardly therefrom.
  • the secondary topsheet 12 and core 10 are thus encapsulated between the topsheet 14 and the backsheet 16.
  • a pair of side regions 20 which are to form side flaps, are constituted by portions of the topsheet/backsheet assembly which lie outwardly of the core and secondary topsheet.
  • the backsheet and topsheet are sealed to one another by adhesive extending over the mutually facing surfaces thereof.
  • the topsheet and backsheet may be secured to one another in the regions 20 by other means, for example by means of additional heat seals on the laterally outer edges thereof.
  • each of these regions is subjected to stretching both in a longitudinal direction (i.e. parallel to the longer axis of the napkin) and in a transverse direction (i.e. in a direction at right angles to the above longitudinal direction) .
  • the webs of raw material to form the topsheets and backsheets travel through the manufacturing process in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the articles, and this direction is therefore conventionally referred to as the machine direction (M.D.).
  • the direction at right angles to this is therefore conventionally referred to as the cross direction (CD.).
  • M.D. machine direction
  • CD. cross direction
  • M.D. and CD. are therefore to be understood in the present context as referring primary to a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the napkin, and a direction which is transverse to this, respectively.
  • each of the regions 20 is subjected both to CD. stretch and M.D. stretch.
  • CD. stretch is shown in only in relation to one of the regions
  • M.D. stretch is shown only in relation to the other of the regions. It must be emphasised, however, that, in reality, both regions are subjected to both forms of stretching.
  • this is subjected to an amount of stretching which varies from 10% at the longitudinal middle to 50% at the longitudinal ends.
  • the degree of stretching is shown as being in bands of 10%, 15%, 20%, 35% and 50%. These bands are shown for illustrative purposes only, and in fact the amount of stretching may vary at least approximately continuously over the length of the flap. To a first approximation, it can be assumed that the values of 10%, 15%, 20% and 35% are achieved around the middle of the bands which are labelled with those values, and the value of 50% is achieved at the extreme ends.
  • the percentage stretch varies substantially as between the middle of the flap and its ends, the actual amount of stretch does not vary to a corresponding extent, since the amount of material available to be stretched is much greater at the centre than it is at the ends.
  • the range of CD stretch may in fact be less than, or greater than, that illustrated in Figure 1. For example, it may range from less than 10% at the middle (even down to zero at that point) up to as much as about 70% at the ends.
  • the lower region 20 in Figure 1 has marked on it a uniform amount of M.D. stretch (10%) . This is only an approximation, and can be taken as the average value of the stretch as considered from the region of the flap laterally inwards to the region of the flap laterally outwards. Laterally inwards, the amount of M.D. stretch may tail off almost, or completely, to zero. Laterally outwards, the amount of M.D. stretch reaches a value l ⁇
  • the result of the combined CD. and M.D. stretch is to cause undulations or waves 22 to be formed in the regions 20, thus creating flaps 20a.
  • the undulations 22 have their greatest amplitudes at their laterally outer ends, falling to zero, or almost to zero, at their inner ends.
  • the periodicity of the undulations 22 is approximately constant from end to end.
  • the effect of the undulations 22 is that the length of the laterally outer edge of each of the flaps 20a, as measured along a path which follows the rise and fall of the undulations, is increased compared to what it would have been had no undulations been formed.
  • the resulting increase in the perimetral length of each flap is from 10 to 70%, more preferably from 15 to 50%, and still more preferably from 20 to 30%. Most preferably, this increase is about 25%.
  • topsheet and backsheet are formed must, therefore, be such as are capable of being stretched. Furthermore, the materials are so chosen that, at least in their stretched condition, they are not elastic, or at least not elastic to any significant extent. In addition, the materials are chosen to be such that, although they can be stretched in the course of manufacture of the article, they are not readily stretchable thereafter. By this is meant H
  • the regions 20 of the blank shown in Figure 1 may be stretched by any suitable method.
  • a preferred method is as described in our copending Italian Patent Application filed on the same date as the present application and entitled [here insert title of DR63] .
  • This describes a method of deforming a sheet-type region of an absorbent sanitary article, wherein the said region is positioned between a mould member having at least one aperture or recess therein, and preferably a plurality of such apertures or recesses, and a deforming member, the deforming member forcing the said region into the said aperture or recess.
  • the deforming member comprises a resilient membrane, and movement of the resilient member is effected by a fluid which exerts a pressure thereon.
  • FIG. 16 A portion of the article around said region is clamped during movement of the resilient member.
  • the backsheet 16 has panty fastening adhesive applied thereto.
  • the backsheet, with its adhesive, is normally covered by a protective release layer, which is removed by the user immediately before the article is worn.
  • Figures 4 and 10 each show an adhesive pattern which comprises two parallel central stripes 30 and two laterally outward stripes 32, the latter extending to the outer edges of the article.
  • the stripes 32 cover, inter alia, the flaps 20a and in Figure 10 they cover only the flaps.
  • Figure 5 shows an alternative adhesive pattern, in which the central zone 34 is free of adhesive, and there are two relatively wide strips of adhesive 36 which stop short of the lateral edges of the article.
  • each flap there is adhesive on the laterally inner part of each flap, but not on its laterally outer part.
  • the drawings show, by way of example only, some measurements in millimetres for size of the adhesives stripes.
  • the article itself has, in this case, an overall length of 227mm and overall width of 119mm.
  • the flaps of the article according to the present invention are so designed that, when the user has secured the article to the crotch region of a pair of panties, and has then pulled those panties on, the flaps automatically wrap themselves into the desired position overlying the exterior of the crotch region, without the user needing to take any additional action to achieve this.
  • additional lines 40 have been drawn in to indicate the edges of the crotch region of the panties. It is to be understood that the precise lines shown are not universally the same, and that there are, in particular, differences from one part of the world to another as regards the shape of panties which is normally preferred.
  • the lines 40 are each at least approximately in the form of a segment of an ellipse.
  • the portions of the flaps 20a outwardly of the lines 40 are located against the wearer's thighs, and tend to fold downwards about the lines 40.
  • the flap portions are oriented at 90° with respect to the general plane of the remainder of the article, they are unstable in their position and tend to continue their rotation, flipping under the crotch region of the panties.
  • the panty fastening adhesive then causes the flaps to adhere to the underside of the crotch region. If the extent to which the flaps fold is not sufficient to produce this adhesion, or if the adhesion occurs to an insufficient extent, the user can effect it manually.
  • the non-planar nature of the flaps not only permits folding to take place about the lines 40, but also means that after the flaps have folded, and are lying against the underside of the crotch region of the panties, the increased length of the outer edge of the flaps enables those flaps to lie without substantial puckering against the underside of the crotch region.
  • Figures 6 to 9 show a number of possible constructions for a sanitary napkin made according to the present invention. It is emphasised that the drawings are highly diagrammatic. Thus, for example, the waves which can be seen at the outer edge of some of the components, although representing the undulations 22, are shown for ease of illustration running at right angles to the actual orientation of the undulations 22. A number of the components in Figures 6 to 9 are common to what has been described above, and the same reference numerals are used. Additionally, however, each of Figures 6 to 9 uses the reference numeral 52 to denote the protective release layer, and the reference numeral 54 to denote the adhesive used to secure the topsheet and backsheet together.
  • the embodiment of Figure 7 also comprises two strips of soft non-woven material 56 which are secured by adhesive 58 to the surface of the topsheet 14, in the regions where the topsheet overlies the longitudinal edges of the core 10 and secondary topsheet 12. This is done in order to reduce the sharpness of this junction and increase the comfort to the wearer.
  • the same is true in the case of the embodiment of Figure 8.
  • the embodiments of Figures 6 and 7 use the adhesive pattern shown in Figure 4, whereas Figure 8 uses the adhesive pattern shown in Figure 5.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 9 is substantially the same as that shown in Figure 8, except that the topsheet 14 does not extend so far laterally outwards.
  • the sanitary napkin described above may be made of various materials, but, by way of example, the following Table sets out the construction of an embodiment of the present invention.

Abstract

Un article hygiénique absorbant, tel qu'une serviette hygiénique, comprend une région absorbante (10) pouvant absorber des liquides biologiques, et une paire de volets (20) dont chacun est respectivement situé au niveau d'un bord de la région absorbante (10). Chaque volet (20) présente une configuration non-plane et comporte un premier bord, contigu à ladite région absorbante (10), qui définit un axe de rotation non rectiligne permettant au volet de pivoter par rapport à la région absorbante (10), et un second bord, éloigné de cette dernière, dont la longueur périphérique est supérieure à celle d'un volet plat équivalent (20). On obtient une telle configuration en étirant le matériau composant chaque volet (20) de sorte qu'il adopte un profil ondulé.
